Part 7/12:
A critical aspect of Meta’s AI strategy involves the debate over openness and transparency in AI development. The Open-Source Initiative (OSI) recently updated its standards, challenging major tech players—including Meta—to redefine what it truly means for AI models to be "open."
Meta’s AI model Llama has been promoted as open source; however, under the new standards, it falls short because it does not fully reveal its training data, codebase, or fine-tuning parameters. OSI argues that genuine openness must include transparency about training datasets and operational details, enabling others to understand, replicate, and modify AI models.
